First official photo of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Lionsgate

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2" is the last film in the "The Hunger Games" movie franchise and according to a report from MTV, the cast and crew were on their last day of shooting on June 7. The information was first shared on director Francis Lawrence's Twitter account, and while there were no specifics on which scenes were being filmed, producer Nina Jacobson has released some clues. 

Jacobson tweeted a photo last June 5 depicting the cast and crew on a grassy hill as they greeted a beautiful sunrise. Jacobson then wrote that it was the epilogue scene. Based on the information, they were shooting some of the more quiet  scenes in the movie, such as the aforementioned epilogue which takes place years after the rebellion. 

According to the same report, Jacobson might have revealed when fans may get their first look at the first trailer. A Twitter user asked if the speculations of a Tuesday (June 9) trailer release date was real and the producer replied with a simple "6.9.15 #MockingjayPart2 #Unite Real." 

In commemoration of the final day for shooting, the very first official photo of the film was released. The photo shows Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) alongside Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Finnick (Sam Claflin), and Messalla (Evan Ross). A report from IGN also posted the official photos of Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and a separate photo of Gale. Both are shown donning military outfits. 

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2" is the conclusion to the series and fans will see Katniss Everdeen lead the Resistance against President Snow, in order to stop the annual Hunger Games and establish a new form of government that does not maltreat its citizens. 

Joining the regular characters are Commander Lyme, played by Gwendoline Christie of "Game of Thrones" fame, and Lt. Jackson, portrayed by "True Blood" alumna Michelle Forbes. 

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2" hits theaters nationwide this Nov. 20.
